The team at a Middleton on the Wolds poultry business is celebrating after reaching the final in two categories of the Yorkshire Post Business Awards.
Soanes Poultry has been shortlisted in the Medium Business of the Year and the Rural Business of the Year categories of the annual awards, which celebrate Yorkshire’s best in business.
Soanes Poultry’s FD, Claire Wright, is delighted with the news: “Both the farms and the operations teams work hard to delight our customers with delicious chicken that tastes like chicken used to taste, and we’re very proud that the judges have recognised our achievements, not only for rearing great tasting chicken, but for providing employment for 180 people and supporting our rural community.”
In the Medium Business of the Year award, Soanes Poultry faces competition from Burgess Pet Care, Tiger Sheds and Evolve. Fellow finalists for the Rural Business of the Year award are Drewton’s Ltd, Farmer Copleys, Dean’s Garden Centre York and Stump Cross Caverns.
The team will learn whether they have been successful at an awards ceremony and gala dinner, which takes place on November 12th at New Dock Hall, Leeds and will be attended by over 300 guests from across the business community.
Now in their 20th year, the Yorkshire Post Business Awards recognise and reward a cross-section of businesses and the vital role they play in Yorkshire’s economic success.
